DAR: Taiwan vs China - Who Turn Out The Lights?

[RERomine]

Turn 4

Enemy tanks sighted in the north and south sectors. Down south, one was popped on the road by a Javelin. None seen behind it yet. Up north, a single T-62II is picking its way through the woods. It has TI so I need to have my commandos hunker down and get ready.

Friendly forces turned one flag in the center sector and one in the south sector. The enemy turned one in the center sector so I know someone is coming there as well.

Casualties

Friendly: Zero.

Enemy: One T-69II destroyed and zero casualties (the whole crew survived)

Turn 5

North Sector: Four enemy tanks trying to pick through the woods. One assaulted by commando squad without affect. I called in artillery in the off chance the tank would remain stationary, but it moved. I'll have to cancel that call. Three recon jeeps tried to come busting through, but two were capped by a scout patrol. The last dropped off an enemy scout section. Both the jeep and the scout are 100m from mine.

Center Sector: No enemy sighted.

South Sector: Got jumped by a couple of JL-8 fighter-bombers. The enemy are really lucky those didn't go after their units. I've seen that a lot in previous battles. It cost me one of my two jeeps and a few troops. More enemy tanks are pushing down the road and one more got zapped.

Casualties

Friendly: One Jeep destroyed and estimated 10 casualties..

Enemy: One T-69II tank and two BJ212 Jeeps destroyed, 10 casualties.

Turn 6

North Sector: It's a knife fight in the woods against the enemy tanks. Two have been destroyed and one immobilized. One Javelin team has fired three missiles, but 150m. Too close! All missed and the team has taken casualties from return fire. No more tanks have been sighted so the commandos are moving in on the remaining two. The last two Javelin teams have taken up positions to counter any more tanks from the front and cover the back if the last one breaks through. The last enemy recon jeep was destroyed and the scouts with it.

Center Sector: Two Chinese T-62II tanks popped out of the woods near my infantry. One tank was assaulted and immobilized. A helicopter also popped out next to one squad and got shot down.

South Sector: Chinese rockets coming in on my reserve platoon. Between the rockets and fighter-bombers, it has taken a beating. Further forward, the line units destroyed the last two enemy tanks. One at range with a Javelin and one as it tried to push down the road. The last tank came to within 100m of once squad which popped it with an integrated AT weapon.

Casualties

Friendly: Estimated 10 casualties.

Enemy: Two T-69IIs, two T-62IIs and one Z-5 helicopter destroyed, 20 casualties.

Below are the hot spots at the end of turn 6:

Turn 7

North Sector: The enemy tanks haven't been destroyed, but things got hot enough that the crew from the immobilized tank bailed and got capped. That leaves one very lively Chinese tank there. It destroyed by Javelin team and hit my scouts again. I hope to finish it off this turn. It should have left while it had the chance.

Center Sector: The two enemy tanks were destroyed, but two more popped out of the woods. Both were assaulted, but survived. Without infantry support, they won't last long.

South Sector: Clear of enemy units for now. One Javelin team is hitching a ridge back for ammo.

Casualties

Friendly: Estimated 5 casualties.

Enemy: Two T-62II tanks destroyed, 10 casualties.

Turn 8

North Sector: The last enemy tank was immobilized and the crew bailed. They are trying to get away, but there are a lot of angry commandos nearby so that won't happen.

Center Sector: Last two enemy tanks destroyed by infantry. One enemy APC spotted by scouts about 400m out front. Counter battery plotted on a suspected enemy mortar position.

South Sector: No enemy units sighted in sector, but fighter-bombers and rockets are back. I traded my last jeep for a JL-8. At least I unloaded the Javelin team last turn for resupply. My reserve platoon regrouped after the last rocket attack, moved forward about 250m and got hit again. The heaviest casualties in the south are to a platoon not on the line.

Casualties

Friendly: Estimated 10 casualties.

Enemy: Two T-62II tanks and one JL-8 fighter-bomber destroyed, 10 casualties.

Turn 9

North Sector: Put the torch to the abandon enemy tank and zapped the crew. Commandos spreading out again. Javelin team has spotted an APC chasing a flag about 750m to the front.

Center Sector: One scout patrol blundered into an enemy mech infantry company moving up. It took casualties, but is still active. Artillery has been plotted and my infantry is deploying in the woods to engage them. The enemy are pretty much in the center of the sector, so I've got two infantry companies available to deal with them. It shouldn't be a problem. Firing counter battery at two enemy mortars.

South Sector: More enemy rockets, but nothing else.

Casualties

Friendly: Estimated 10 casualties.

Enemy: One T-62II tank, estimated 5 casualties.

Turn 10

North Sector: Rockets are now hitting my commandos. Those guys just don't get a break. A Javelin team destroyed the enemy APC spotted last turn.

Center Sector: Scouts took some shots at enemy motor infantry spotted. Trucks are also spotted out front, so the enemy may have two infantry companies moving forward. Still no worries. Counter battery destroyed one enemy 82mm mortar section and hit another.

South Sector: Enemy infantry and tanks advancing. Five tanks are at the road intersection and some infantry is about 300m in front of them. One of my scouts engaged them at 150m. Two enemy SPAA units busted down the road. One was destroyed, but the other destroyed an AT team.

Casualties

Friendly: Estimated 10 casualties.

Enemy: One Type 63G APC, one Type 56 SPAAMG and one 82mm mortar sec destroyed, estimated 20 casualties.
